EVERY ANGEL IS TERRIFYING

Style Dammit, Style!

Style Dammit, Style!

It is not so much
a matter of what you do
as of how you do it,
not so much the content
as the style
of action adopted.

-Alan Watts


I heard more than once from a conservative-minded friend that former President Trump accomplished some good things.  Perhaps.  Even to concede my friend’s point, a boorish absence of style, that smacked of the cretin character of the man, obscured for me any appropriate application of policy effected by his administration.

It is better to be wrong, mistaken, but with style — than to do the right thing in an uncouth manner.


It is the weekend is it not?  Is there a song, a theme for today?  This one by Loverboy fits!  Working For The Weekend
